The developers of the 3D printing technology are always searching for the new ways to implement it in everyday life of individual users making this life easier, more interesting and different from that of the previous generations. One day a simple 2D printer with an ordinary output of documents and photos may shift its place of residence and move to the kitchen.(more…)

Recently, the 2 bioprinters using sells instead of ink have arrived from Switzerland to the University of Virginia. They stay in the edge of medical technology and will eventually print tissues for treating patients with burns, diabetes and even organ failure.(more…)

The fourth dimension here is time. The researchers from the University of Wollongong, Australia, have invented a way to change a form of a 3D-printed object long after it’s printed under the influence of temperature, pressure or water. It becomes possible due to a special gel, and could be used in extreme environments like deep space without relying on humans or robots. According to the scientists, the objects can even revert back to their original shape.(more…)

Have you ever noticed extra-small barcodes or highly-legible alphanumeric multi-line codes on different products (small-diameter cables, integrated circuits)? It’s hard to imagine, but there are printers capable of printing them on very small items. Two new Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) printers from Videojet Technologies—the 1650 High Resolution (HR) and the 1620 HR—aim exactly for such needs in the electronics, components and cable sectors, as well as other industries requiring ultra-small printing capabilities. The models belong to Innovative 1000 Line High Resolution Series and offers smaller, better contrast codes than traditional micro printing systems.(more…)

Everyone surely remembers the killer robot, T-1000, played by Robert Patrick, that rises menacingly from a puddle of molten metal in “Terminator 2”. This scene has inspired the scientists headed by Joseph DeSimone, a professor of chemistry at University of North Carolina and a founder of the Carbon3D company, to invent a new technology of 3D printing. The technology allows to create a 3D object 100 times faster, than the existing methods, from a reservoir of liquid resin.(more…)

The year 2014 has presented us a fair amount of new 3D food printers producing anything from printed chocolate to printed cookie dough (e.g. 3D Systems’ ChefJet sugar printer, Natural Machines’ Foodini). This year the XYZPrinting has entered the food industry with its 3D Food Printer, represented at CES 2015.(more…)

Next month Fuji Xerox is launching its new high-end digital production printer in Japan (and after February 6 it will be shipped across the Asia Pacific). The Color 1000i Press is essentially different from the previous model the Color 1000 released in August 2010. It aims for high-end professional market, prints 100 ppm, uses media of up to 350 gsm and upgraded software.(more…)

EFI™ is one of the world leaders in client-oriented digital printing innovation and it is its VUTEk® GS3250LXr Pro LED printer running SuperFlex Ink, on the base of which Orbus Exhibit & Display Group has developed more productive, qualified fabric-printing capabilities for the growing “soft signage” market.

The progress never stops. This June MakerBot company, which produces 3D printers since 2009 and makes them affordable for mass users, has launched a new mobile app. The thing is that the company has already several products, including desktop 3D printers, a desktop 3D scanner, the MakerBot Thingiverse app, that’s why they needed a simple and functional app to rule all of this from one place. The app for smartphones is free and works through the cloud.(more…)

A 3D printing technology has opened a door to a broad field of inventions. Experiments are carried on to be applied in medicine for printing of tooth implants, bone casts, even bones themselves and inner organs and body parts. In architecture and design – for printing houses, their blocks and interior items. There are confectionary 3D printers and those using plastic as a material. Now the time of a new material came.(more…)
